Super Silly Hot Dogs

On Wednesday, I was having a bad day. The temperatures here soared close to 100 degrees, my 5-year old had been whining all day, I was getting nowhere with trying to get organized for Summer break and just life was getting me down. When my older two came home from school (early because of the heat) and my oldest started her non stop whining, I felt my patience level plummeting. I tried to change things around by letting them swim in the pool for awhile and making homemade ice cream, but things just kept getting worse. Soon, I was yelling at them for every little thing, they were crying and I was feeling terrible for taking my bad mood out on them. (Please tell me I'm not the only one this happens to).

I wanted to try to make it up to them at dinner, but it wasn't in the budget to go out to eat. Then I rememberthis postI'd bookmarked ages ago from Filth Wizardry. I had everything I needed and it couldn't have been easier. While the kids were engrossed in a tv show, I quickly made this super silly dinner. (Next time, I'll let them help)

Hot dogs and spaghetti

It was so simple and the silliness of it really helped brighten our moods. Here's how to do it:

Good question, Amber. I have to admit, I just had my hot dog spaghetti-free on a bun so I'm not sure. The kids ate it without any complaints and asked for more, so I have to assume it did cook fine. (My kids very willingly tell me when they don't like something ;) ) I'll try a bite the next time we make it and report back.

The blog or and best that is extremely useful to keep I can share the ideas of the future as this is really what I was looking for, I am very comfortable and pleased to come here. Thank you very much.animal jam | five nights at freddy's | hotmail login
